To camaro or to 370z?

Hi, my name is abilor, and I'm a thrustaholic.

I "discovered" cars about 2 years ago, and have since then bought a mazdaspeed3, which is a delightfully quick little car. I wrench on her all the time, and have upgraded motor mounts, short ram intake, hybrid BPV/BOV, silicone turbo inlet, the intercooler, paper to canister filter, quick valve on oilpan, and added new leather boot and short throw shifter. She's a feisty little car, but I plan my next vehicle about 1-2 years in advance, and the camaro is in my sights.

I eventually want to do a full blown car project, probably an ls7 from parts build in a fbody of unknown gen, or maybe an older corvette. In the meantime, an LS3 2SS/RS in inferno orange will probably do the trick.

I test drove a 2ss slushbox yesterday, and I thought the visibility was limited. The power was ok, but the salesman was twitchy as all hell, so I didn't get on it. I want to test drive a six-speed, but haven't been able to find one on BR. Ultimately, if I get a camaro, I want to install a supercharger within the first 10,000 miles.

I am trying to decide between a camaro or a 370z. The z handles better, but I want to wrench on the car, and the camaro seems mire amenable to wrenching and has a richer aftermarket. But the z is sexy too.

Convince me. I have a possible promotion coming up that relates to auto theft, and I might be able to pu the trigger within 8 months to a year. I have a wife and 3 month old, who won't ride in the speed 3 because it's "rough". Will the camaro help with this, and snap daddys neck? Handle as well as 370z with aftermarket suspension?

Lime I said, please twist my arm. I'd love to come to a meet too.

Abilor, in Red Stick.

We had an inside connection with the OMV so our paperwork (and check cashing) was expedited. PM me your requested plate and I'll get my guy to check on it.
